I think my husband was more than 4% Neanderthal. He was a light blue eyed redhead and body, very strong, long torso, short legs, very hard head (in more ways than one ;-) ), faint brow ridges, receding chin, crystaline hard teeth, very hairy including one shoulder, quick temper, warrior temperament, superb hunter.

Almost a description of me! I even have extra teeth. 4 extra ones, like a shark, sitting behind my other teeth like a layer (if they find my body a thousand years from now, I will be classified as definitely some kind of a cave-man). Though I've never hunted. I have Irish on my father's side of the family. Also Alzheimer's in the family as well. Hopefully I don't wander off anywhere.

My older son, the larger, heavier one who is in Special Forces had 6 wisdom teeth. When we went to have them extracted the nurse asked if he had any esquimo ancestry. He is also dark eyed and dark haired. Do you have some native American ancestry? What tribes and percentage? The thing the puzzled me at first was that while my husband had light clear blue eyes, and I had greenish hazel eyes, both my sons had very dark brown eyes. Since the light blue eyes are supposed to be completely recessive, the only thing I can figure, is that I have oriental dark eye recessive gene from my Prussian German petty nobility ancestors on my mother’s side. The mongolian tartars conquered as far west as Poland and East Prussia which is where her parents came from.

If you do end up with Alzheimer’s you will have to be watched after you can no longer find your way home but before you become physically disabled. For my husband it was about 2 1/2 years in that phase. While his mother had dementia around the same age, my husband had received several several blows to the head which some feel can be a contributing factor. I think his symptoms started a bit earlier than hers.
